Happy Friday!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the STM Spring Auction TOMORROW! I am very grateful for our dedicated volunteers and supporters. It's going to be a wonderful event, and we couldn't do it without you!

STM Band T-Shirt Orders Due ASAP!
Attached is the Band t-shirt order form. We are working on a very short timeline - and have 90 kids in the band to order for - so please take action now! (Thank you all for your cooperation in advance!)
Please fill out the attached form, shirts are $15 / each, and send into school as soon as possible - hopefully no later than Thursday's band class.
Advanced Band may be able to wear the shirts to the Band Festival on March 28th if we are able to get them back in time.
All Band students will wear them to the Kings Dominion band trip on May 29th. Parents are welcome to order shirts for themselves -- great for our chaperones!
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Thanks, Donna Young

Used Uniform Sale Monday March 30th
The next used uniform sale will be Monday, March 30th in the cafeteria from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Please send any uniform contributions or bring them the day of the event.
The STM used uniform sales have been successful with yours support. Now, we need your help to fill the inventory again for the next sale.
As you clean out old uniforms to make room for those summer polos and shorts, please consider sending in your used uniforms to STM. Kids will grow and those long pants will be too short for next year, for sure!
If you have any uniforms that you can contribute to the used uniform hut supplies, please drop them to the STM Front Office or hand them off to Cristina Farias-Gomez or Mickey Grammatica Fletcher.
We thank you for making this a great activity for STM; it helps the STM families save money by passing along uniforms to each other for a discounted price and raises funds for the STM PTO.
